League of Legends Champion Roadmap 2022
Riot has teased about the final champion introduced in 2022 to the League community in the latest League of Legends Champion Roadmap 2022.
The new Shurima region "that hasn't been seen yet" features colorful structures and lush greenery. The developers have also hinted at the possible name linked to this highly odd scenery of Runeterra's desertic region: The Pride of Nazumah.
Gamers might believe that the location portrayed in the given illustration is "Nazumah," and our next tank top laner could be this "Pride" who is expected to arrive in the game soon.
Talking about the next LoL tank top laner, developer Ryan ‘Reav3’ Mireles said, "Look out for another Roadmap later this year where I will cover The Pride of Nazumah, a new high skill top lane tank from a region of Shurima that hasn’t been seen yet! See you all then."

League of Legends tank top laner - Pride of Nazumah
The impending tank top laner in League of Legends was first hinted at as a "new high skill top lane tank from a region of Shurima that hasn’t been seen yet" in the April 2022 champion roadmap.
"We looked at our tank roster and realized we didn't have like an Aphelios, Azir, or Yasuo of top lane tanks," said Lead Champion Producer Ryan 'Reav3' Mireles while addressing the Pride of Nazumah.
On Reddit, he said, "They're medium to low skill and complexity."
"With this champion, the idea was to finally bring a high-skill/high-complexity tank to the lineup. Something that gamers who enjoy that sort of thing can really get their teeth into and master over the course of hundreds of games."
Riot is attempting to soothe fears that a tank with a high skill level will be difficult to balance around professional play. by making some calculated balance choices.
Other than the April tease, Riot also revealed a little more about the mysterious character - Pride of Nazumah in a developer post released on Reddit on April 21.

League of Legends tank top laner - Pride of Nazumah appearance
The in-charge of the development of LoL Champion 162, the Pride of Nazumah, Developer Daniel 'Maxw3ll' Emmons noted that they'd be a little more resource-intensive than other top-lane tanks, which can be vulnerable to low gold yet still be effective in battle.
"The current tank roster has a lot of easy-to-follow tendencies and approaches to fights in comparable ways. With this character, we wanted to make a tank that appeals to players who enjoy deep mastery curves and characters who put their skills to approach fights in creative ways to the test.
He further added, "I'm not going to delve into specifics because we're still a long way off and not everything is finalized, but we're looking to make them more gold-dependent than other tanks.

League of Legends tank top laner - Pride of Nazumah Abilities
Riot hasn't revealed any details on the League of Legends' new tank top laner skills or gameplay.
Reav3 did characterize the upcoming 162 champion as someone "who a new high skill top lane tank from a region of Shurima," which might suggest that Pride of Nazumah will be totally level up the alley of those wishing to add additional flair to their gameplay while also being nearly unkillable.
Riot can't reveal that information because his kit is still in development, and it's too early for anyone to predict with any real certainty. And while the developers haven't revealed any specific tank top laner - Pride of Nazumah abilities, one thing is clear, the top lane tank from a region of Shurima will be quite skill-expressive.
We have no additional information on Nazumah beyond what we can observe by gazing at the photo because this is an unknown part of Shurima's enormous geography. There are a few areas with enough water, mountainous regions, and near to the sea if you look at the interactive map of Runeterra and focus on the Shurima region.
One of these places is an unnamed peninsula off Shurima's southern tip. That little location is far enough away from the other locales mentioned in League legend to serve as a potential home for the next Pride of Nazumah champion.
We will make sure to update the article whenever Riot decides to drop in new info about this new League of Legends Pride of Nazumah abilities.
